libao Binding for the Ada Programming Language
==============================================


Overview
--------

This a thick binding, so the rough edges of C have all been filed off. In
particular ao_option/Option_List objects are automatically deallocated when
they go out of scope, and any remaining open ao_device/Device objects are
automatically closed when libao is shut down.


Dependencies
------------

GNAT (build)
gprbuild (build)
libao (run)


Build Instructions
------------------

Ensure that all dependencies are installed, including any developer or header
packages for libao. Then the following commands will build and install the
binding:

    gprbuild aao.gpr
    gprinstall -p -m aao.gpr

The other gpr file, example.gpr, can be used to build the short example
programs provided.
